Chapter 501: This Yue Emperor's identity is probably not simple
The Yue Emperor, clad in black gold armor, rode upon a robust white horse, a longsword hanging at her waist and her ponytail fluttering in the wind, presenting a dashing figure.
She glanced at the distant, dense array of the Barbarian Army but did not spot the Barbarian Tribe's Goddess among them.
The Yue Emperor furrowed her brows, it seemed that the so-called Goddess had not come.
Did the Goddess hold such contempt for Da Yue that she merely sent the Barbarian Army and did not show herself?
At that time, the Barbarian Army did not continue to advance; they stood in the distance, motionless, apparently waiting for someone's command.
The Yue Emperor then said coldly, "Form up, attack!"
As her words fell, the formations of the Da Yue Army began to shift, taking on a conical shape.
Regardless of whether the Barbarian Goddess had come, the Yue Emperor intended to make it a quick battle, so she directly instructed the Da Yue Army to deploy an offensive formation.
Following the change in Da Yue's formation, the army led by the King of Sand Wizard also adjusted their formation, with the Barbarian Army adopting a similar conical shape.
Both sides had assumed offensive formations.
Seeing this, some Da Yue soldiers harbored disdainful thoughts—was this the famed battle formation?
Was this all the Barbarian's battle formation amounted to?
It didn't seem all that impressive, did it?
Could such a formation withstand Celestials?
Just as the Da Yue soldiers thought they had victory in their grasp, suddenly, the sound of horns echoed from within the Barbarian formation.
Yet, the Da Yue soldiers still did not take it seriously as drumming reverberated over the plains at that moment.
Soon after, countless arrows shot out from within the Da Yue formation, quickly filling the sky above the Barbarian Army with dense volleys of arrows, yet the Barbarian soldiers showed no signs of panic.
King of Sand Wizard shouted loudly, "Set the formation!"
As he spoke, True Qi was released from his body, which upon contact, seemed to also draw out the True Qi within the bodies of the warriors.
Seeing this, the Yue Emperor's brows knitted together tightly.
Something was amiss.
The King of Sand Wizard was a Grandmaster, so releasing True Qi wasn't unusual, but those Barbarian soldiers were not Grandmasters, and some were merely first-rank Martial Artists. Even they were releasing their True Qi.
How was that possible?
As True Qi was released from the bodies of the Barbarian soldiers, a giant golden array pattern soon appeared beneath the feet of the Barbarian Army.
At that critical juncture when the volley of arrows shot by Da Yue soldiers were about to strike the Barbarians, the Barbarian battle formation completed, and a dragon roar sounded across the plains followed by all the arrows aimed at the Barbarian soldiers being deflected away.
Above the Barbarian Army, it seemed a golden dragon had appeared.
Seeing this golden dragon, the Da Yue soldiers immediately paled in fright, witnessing such a scene for the first time.
Seeing the golden dragon, the Yue Emperor thought to herself that indeed, this Barbarian Goddess must have come from another world.
Such a formation could not possibly exist in this world.
No wonder there were rumors within the Barbarian Tribe that their battle formations could withstand Celestials.
This was going to be troublesome.
Seeing the Da Yue soldiers in disarray from fear, the King of Sand Wizard burst out laughing.
"Ha ha ha, Da Yue rats! Enjoy the last rays of the setting sun! Soon you won't be able to see it ever again!"
Speaking, the King of Sand Wizard directed the celestial dragon in the sky straight towards the Da Yue formation.
Before the Yue Emperor could intervene, the Golden Dragon had already toppled all the soldiers of the Dayue in front, in the blink of an eye, the military formation of the Dayue was dispersed.
Seeing the Dayue soldiers in disarray, the Yue Emperor was very clear that the soldiers of the Dayue were unreliable.
In the face of this Golden Dragon, it wasn't just the Grandmasters, but even the Grandmaster who could not withstand, only a Celestial could possibly make use of this formation.
The war capabilities of the Barbarian Tribe were indeed formidable. Once Dayue acquired this battle formation, they would be confident against the Celestials.
Although the Dayue Army seemed to be in complete chaos, appearing as if they were about to be defeated, there was not a trace of panic on the Yue Emperor's face.
She had already perceived the greatest flaw in this formation.
The reason why this battle formation could be initiated was because it drew out the True Qi from everyone within it, even the True Qi within the bodies of lower-grade Martial Artists was extracted.
In the Immortal world, the True Qi of this world is Spiritual Energy. The bodies of ordinary Martial Artists originally contained very little Spiritual Energy which was forcibly drawn out nonetheless.
A group of Martial Artists Who were not Celestials could not possibly sustain it for long. Even if Dayue did nothing, this formation would soon collapse.
Once the formation collapsed, those soldiers of the Barbarian Tribe would instantly lose their combat effectiveness.
That's why King of Sand Wizard was in such a rush to attack, intending to settle the enemy before the battle formation disappeared.
Unfortunately, King of Sand Wizard encountered the Yue Emperor.
At that moment, the Yue Emperor leapt up and stood on a white horse, clutching the sword in her hand, and her fingers slid across the blade, causing a sound of sword ringing to resonate.
Meanwhile, on a distant small hill, upon witnessing this scene, Mu Yunxi raised her eyebrows, seemingly pondering something.
After a moment, Mu Yunxi mumbled to herself, "This isn't swordsmanship from this world; the identity of this Yue Emperor is probably not simple."
In an ordinary Martial Arts World, it was impossible for such swordsmanship capable of condensing Sword Intent to exist.
At this moment, King of Sand Wizard had yet to realize the severity of the issue; he controlled a golden dragon, charging straight at the Yue Emperor while laughing loudly, "Beautiful lady, I am coming!"
As the dragon's roar echoed once more, the dragon directly lunged at the Yue Emperor. The soldiers of the Dayue were petrified by the scene, thinking that the Yue Emperor was about to die.
Just as the huge dragon's jaws were about to reach the Yue Emperor, she swung her sword, unleashing Sword Qi imbued with Destruction Sword Intent that instantly swept across the golden dragon.
In an instant, the golden dragon was split in two. Once the golden dragon vanished, those Barbarian soldiers forming the Supreme Soaring Dragon Array also suffered backlash, spewing blood, even the King of Sand Wizard was severely injured.
Some Barbarian soldiers couldn't endure and fell to the ground, lifeless.
Seeing this scene, soldiers from other tribal clans of the Barbarian Army were astounded.
Their battle array was so powerful yet it was destroyed by a single sword stroke from the Empress of Da Yue.
Was the Empress of Da Yue that powerful?
Hadn't their Goddess said that this battle array could combat a Celestial?
Why did it seem so fragile now?
Their Goddess surely wouldn't deceive them—could it be that the Empress of Da Yue was already a Celestial and among the strongest of them?
At this moment, several Barbarian chieftains beside Mu Yunxi were stunned into silence; Mu Yunxi calmly spoke, "Does anyone else want to try?"
Upon hearing this question, the Barbarian chieftains and leaders remained silent, having witnessed the previous scene; they could basically gauge the strength of the Empress of Da Yue.
Enjoy new adventures from empire
Clearly, this Yue Emperor was not someone they could contend with.
Mu Yunxi also discerned their thoughts and said indifferently, "The reason why King of Sand Wizard's battle formation collapsed so quickly is mainly because his control over the formation was inadequate, you all need more practice."
With that, Mu Yunxi walked towards the distance.
Seeing Mu Yunxi making the move, the chieftains of the Barbarian tribes finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although their battle formation had not defeated the Empress of Da Yue, they still had the Goddess on their side.
With the Celestial strength of the Goddess, it should be easy to eradicate the Yue Emperor.
